The name is Tara. I have a side to me that is eccentric, wild, creative, and flighty that, as a child, I had named...The name I had given myself has stuck in my family through all these years...That name is Lofty.
This blog is a way for me to free my inspirations, dreams, visions and desires. Here you will find these in the form of photography, art, music, and fashion. These inspirations and more bring out the child, the lofty, in me.
now please, indulge and enjoy. Welcome to LoftyLand!

ALSO: if you want to use photos taken by me (Tara Trautman) please give credit to my blog. much appreciated!
